"Great fun and cheap to run" says the advert, certainly not cheap to buy though!!

Well found Towed.

[WorldClassAccident]

Stroll on. We swapped ours for a lawn mower and a garden bench with chairs!

Never really been a fan of Zagato designs, they tend towards the fussy for my taste, but this one's actually nice -



Very nice -



Oh. -



What were they thinking when they stuck granny's fire guard on the front?

[zagmad]

Yep that's the one. I like the back and side view . My idea is to have a the curvy shape but with a different grill. I've bin trying to find some teardrop tailights that have break lights and indicators in one. Think the companys called popbrowns rod parts. Which uses less in a chrome surround teardrop. Keeping the lines simple. I quite like the grill size on the Ferrari 250 gte 2+2. Only thing is finding something custom look that is emarked to pass the mot. Otherwise its a case of teardrop breaklights with a single indicator light at the bottom like this (!!) at the back . :-) exclamation mark looking.

[zagmad]

The Porsche 356 tailights are nice if turned vertical. With a indicator break light combo

[Mitchelkitman]

Very nice. The issue with this (as with any style) is the glazing. Brake lights and other lights from Pop Browns - Try M&M trimming in Lincolnshire (Spalding?) who now own Pop Browns and are very helpful.

And still available in either U.S. all red or European red/amber styles for those with deep pockets -

I really like the plain, oval tail lights fitted to the Zagato, funnily enough they're the same ones used on Lancia D24's. If you find something similar do let me know as I'd be interested in obtaining some for future use.

[zagmad]

Another Maserati was the a6g/54 frua berlinetta with a quite agressive front grill almost like a chrome cobweb at the front. Probably a bit like todays audi grill that looks like its gonna suck you in as it goes along.

[WorldClassAccident]

Front grille appears to be like belly buttons, you get innies and outies

[Scottie22]

Would these be of any use to anyone?
You would not need deep pockets to get a pair of these

They may not have e-marks on them, but with an old enough donar that would not be required.

They're copies though Scottie, I'm surprised at you, have you not seen fake Britain?

The ones I put up were the real deal, NOS Porsche parts at Porsche prices. Bargain...

[Scottie22]

Yes they are copies, but not many of us have real cars either, they're all copies Mr Towed! Even your nice example. :-)

Thanks for pointing that out Scottie. I was being, um, ironic.

[Scottie22]

I know that Towed, it was my attempt at humour!

Looks like I failed!!

[Mister Towed]

Me too.
